• 3. INTRODUCTION • ANIMATRONICS IS THE USE OF MECHATRONICS TO CREATE MAHCHINES WHICH SEEM ANIMATE RATHER THAN ROBOTIC, IT INCLUDE THE CREATION OF ANIMALS, PLANTS, AND EVEN MYTHICAL CREATURES • IT CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS THAT IS ANIMATION AND ELECTRONICS • ANIMATION IS THE RAPIDLY DISPLAY OF A SEQUENCE OF IMAGES OF 2D OR 3D ARTWORK OR MODEL IN ORDER TO CREATE AN ILLUSION OF MOMENT • ELECTRONICS IS THE BRANCH OF SCIENCE WHICH MAINLY DEALS WITH THE ELECTRICAL PARTS CONSISTING OF THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS LIKE DIODES, TRANSISTORS ETC.. www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 4. HISTORY OF ANIMATRONICS • IT WAS MAINLY STARTED BY THE CLOCK MAKERS IN THE ANCIENT TIMES WHO USED TO MAKE CLOCK WERE CHARACTERS WERE HIDDEN/DISPLAYED BY THE SOUND OF THE CLOCK • IT WAS MAINLY DESIGNED BY THE EUROPEAN AND ONE OF SUCH CLOCK NAME PRAGUE ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK MADE IN AND ANIMATED IN AND STILL SURVIVE TODAY • GERMAN LATER ON IN MADE MORE ADVANCEMENT AND TOOK THIS ANIMATION IN HOME CLOCKS • THESE INCLUDE POPING OUT OF CUKOO BIRD OR ANY CHARACTER FROM THE CLOCK www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 5. FATHER OF MODERN ANIMATRONICS • THE MODERN ERA ANIMATRONICS WAS STARTED BY WALT DISNEY • HE SAW GREAT POTENTIAL IN THE ANIMATRONICS AND HOW THEY ATTRACTED VISITORS • THE FIRST ANIMATRONICS FIGURE HE CREATED WAS 9” TALL AND A DANCING MAN WITH AN OLDER ROTATING CAM TECHNOLOGY • SOON DISNEY WITH HIS TEAM MADE ENCHANTED TIKI BIRD FOR THEIR PARK IN AND FIRST HUMAN ANIMATRONICS IN THE FORM OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN FOR WORLD’S FAIR • LATER ON DIRECTORS LIKE STEVEN SPIELBERG AND JIM HENSON INCLUDED IT IN FILMS LIKE JAWS, E.T ETC…www.aashrayforeveryone.org

• 7. STEP 1:DESIGN PROCESS • DURING THE DESIGN PREOCSS THE CLIENT AND THE COMPANY DEVELOPING THE ANIMATRONICS DECIDE WHAT THE CHARACTER WILL BE, ITS APPEARANCE AND TOTAL NUMBER OF MOVES, QUALITY OF MOVES, AND WHAT SPECIFIC MOVE WILL BE www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 8. STEP 2: SCULPTING • THE SCULPTING DEPARTMENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONVERTING TWO DIMENSIONAL IDEAS INTO THREE DIMENSIONAL FORMS www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 9. STEP 3: MOLD MAKING • THE MOLDING DEPARTMENT TAKES THE FORM CREATED BY THE SCULPTOR AND CREATES THE MODERN THAT WILL ULTIMATELY PRODUCE THE CHARACTER SKINS. www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 10. STEP 4: ARMATURE FABRICATION • MEANWHILE, VARIOUS BODY ARMATURES ARE BEING CREATED AND ARE ASSEMBLED IN THE WELDING METAL-FABRICATING AREAS. www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 11. STEP 5: COSTUMING • THE COSTUME, IF THERE IS ONE, IS USUALLY TAILORED TO THE CHARACTER AND ITS MOVEMENTS. • ANIMATION TAILORING CAN BE A VERY DIFFICULT TEDIOUS PROCESS CONSIDERING THE VARIABLE www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 12. STEP 6: PROGRAMMING • PROGRAMMING IS THE FINAL STEP, AND FOR SOME ANIMATIONS IT IS THE MOST REWARDING. PROGRAMMING CAN BE DONE EITHER AT THE MANUFACTURING FACILITY OR AT THE FINAL INSTALLATION SITE. www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 13. LAWS OF ANIMATRONICS • THERE ARE BASICALLY 10 LAWS GOVERNING THE MAKING AND FUNCTIONING OF THE ANIMATRONICS www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 14. LAWS 1. THE LAW OF DISTANCE :- WHICH SAYS THE GREATER IS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE AUDIENCE AND ANIMATRONICS, BETTER IS THE EFFECT. 2. THE LAW OF TIME :- WHICH SAYS THE LESSER DURATION THE ANIMATRONICS IS BEING SHOWED THE LESS IS THE DETAILED WORK NEEDED. 3. THE LAW OF NUMBERS :- THE MORE NUMBER OF MOVEMENT THE MORE IS THE ATTENTION OF THE AUDIENCE 4. THE LAW OF NON-HUMAN :- IT MEANS IF THE CHARACTER IS NOT LOOKING LIKE HUMAN THEN THE ACCEPTANCE LEVEL FOR THE AUDIENCE INCREASES 5. THE LAW OF SURPRISE :- THE MORE NUMBER OF SURPRISES THE MORE IS ATTENTION www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 15. CONT…. 6. THE LAW OF SINGING :- THE SINGING CHARACTER ARE BEING ABLE TO ATTRACT MORE AUDIENCE . 7. THE LAW OF PERSONALITY :- THE MORE GOOD LOOKING WILL BE THE CHARACTER THE MORE ATTRACTION GOES TO THE CHARACTER 8. THE LAW OF BREVITY :- THE MORE BREVITY WILL BE THE CHARACTER, THE LESS WILL BE THE FOCUS IN THE DETAILING OF THE CHARACTER. 9. THE LAW OF SCALE :- THE LARGER IS THE ANIMATRONICS THE MORE WILL BE THE ATTRACTION POINT, LIKE TALKING HOUSE IS MORE ATTRACTION THAN TALKING HUMAN 10. THE LAW OF THE EDGE :- THE MORE BEAUTIFUL OR THE MORE TOWARDS THE EDGE THE CHARACTER IS PUSHED THE MORE CHARMING IT LOOKS www.aashrayforeveryone.org

• 21. APPLICATIONS OF ANIMATRONICS • THEY ARE MAINLY USED IN THE FIELD OF ENTERTAINMENT • THEY ARE ALSO USED TO MAKE ALL KIND OF MODERN MOVIES WHICH MAKE USE OF MYTHICAL CREATURES • THEY CAN ALSO USED TO MAKE AN EXPERIENCE OF ANY OF THE WORLD , CREATED USIN ANIMATRONICS • IT CAN USED TO TRAIN PEOPLE FOR ANY PLACES WITHOUT ACTUALLY GOING THERE www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 22. ADVANTAGES • GIVES THE REAL LIFE EXPERIENCE • USE TO MAKE VERY LARGE AND COMPLEX REAL LIFE ANIMALS • USE TO TRAIN SOLDIERS FOR DANGER OPERATIONS • IT CAN BE USE TO ENTERTAIN KIDS • IT CAN USE TO TEST NEW EQUIPMENT AND THEIR BEHAVIOR www.aashrayforeveryone.org
• 23. DISADVANTAGES • IT IS VERY COSTLY PROCESS • A LOT OF SKILLED PERSON ARE REQUIRED • VERY COMPLEX PROCESS • IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO BUILD IT www.aashrayforeveryone.org

1. Introduction

When it comes to building Animatronic Structures, one of the major decisions you need to make is choosing between a steel frame and an aluminum frame. Each material comes with its own advantages and disadvantages, and understanding these can help you make an informed choice. Animatronic Dinosaurs and other large structures require a strong foundation, and the material significantly impacts durability, weight, and overall structure performance. In this article, we will explore the key aspects of steel frame vs aluminum frame for animatronic structures, providing insights that can guide your procurement process.

2. Key Differences

• 1️⃣ Weight: Steel frames are generally heavier than aluminum frames.

• 2️⃣ Strength: Steel offers greater tensile strength compared to aluminum.

• 3️⃣ Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum is more resistant to corrosion than steel.

Weight Comparison

Weight plays a crucial role in how easily you can transport and install your animatronic structures. Steel frames may require additional support systems due to their heavier nature, while aluminum frames can facilitate easier handling and installation.

Strength Comparison

In terms of structural integrity and load-bearing capacity, steel inherently provides superior strength. This characteristic may be pivotal in large structures like animatronic dinosaurs that demand extreme stability and safety. Many fabricators often choose steel for large installations where weight isn't a concern.

Corrosion Resistance Comparison

Aluminum frames often come coated with alloys that enhance their resistance to rust and other forms of degradation. This makes aluminum a preferred option for outdoor installations or environments with high humidity.

3. Pros and Cons

• Greater strength and durability

• Cost-effective for larger projects

4. Case Studies

In a recent project involving a life-sized animatronic dinosaur, a steel frame structure was used, allowing for comprehensive detailing and immense strength. The project was well-received, showcasing the capability of steel in supporting complex animations. Another instance is a lightweight aluminum frame that was ideal for a smaller, portable animatronic display. The flexibility of aluminum enabled rapid setup and takedown, thus receiving accolades for practicality.

5. Conclusion

Choosing between a steel frame and an aluminum frame for your animatronic structures largely depends on the specific requirements of your project. If you prioritize strength and durability, steel frames may be the better choice. However, if you need something lightweight and corrosion-resistant, especially for outdoor settings, aluminum frames could be more beneficial. Ultimately, carefully assess your project needs, environmental factors, and budget constraints to make the best decision.
